Cakebrew is a godsend!! Starting using it now, I have to say I'm not disappointed!

Coming from MacPort, Homebrew actually is one of the simplest commend line tool I used to install an application on a Mac. Still, numerous occasions I had to spent a considerable amount of time troubleshooting warnings and library conflict issues. In situation that I need to setup development environment quickly such as PHP and Apache, Laravel etc, the last thing I wanted is more overhead.

I only wish something like this would exist for Composer, or is it already exist that I'm not aware of?



How will Cakebrew fix that?

I know what you mean (I've had problems with a few things), but those are problems with the formulae, not Homebrew itself.
